The Armies Of Asia And Europe Embracing Official Reports On The Armies Of Japan, China, India, Persia, Italy, Russia, Austria, Germany, France, And England - Softcover
In 1875 General Upton was relieved of his relatively comfortable duty at West Point and sent across the US and then around the world to determine exactly what the US was facing in the increasingly uncomfortable world of the late nineteenth century. In precise if slightly patronizing detail Upton describes the means of educating strategists, training line officers and fighting men, procuring material, and developing preferences for patterns of war. The result is a series of echoes of the future issued from as far away as six or seven decades. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
